Yahoo Movies Domain’s Melisa Spamer Joins Innovative Artists As Talent Agent
EXCLUSIVE: Veteran talent agent Melisa Spamer, who most recently ran Domain Talent, is joining the talent department of Innovative Artists. She will be based at Innovative Artists’ Los Angeles office.
Spamer began her career at Metropolitan Talent Agency before founding Domain Talent in 2005 with former partners Gabrielle Krengel and Joe Vance in 2005. Over the next decade, Domain grew into a top-tier boutique talent agency. After Krengel died in 2015, the agency carried on for several more years. The surviving partners ultimately parted ways after Spamer took Vance to court and obtained sole control of Domain.

She will be a great asset to our talent business, and we are very excited for her to bring her experience and wealth of knowledge to the agency.”
